|
" A 15-second clip of a Saudi woman riding a horse and carrying the Saudi flag on the kingdom’s national day has triggered an intense debate over the status of women in society.
The clip has been viewed and shared more than 32,000 times the day it was posted on social media, with some people decrying the woman’s action and others supporting her."

Why not?
A woman riding a horse or a camel is not like driving a car!  |

Indeed.
Far, far more hazardous to reproduction, I would have thought. |

Yeah! Wasn't the a Saudi religious bozo a year or so ago who opined the women driving cars would ruin them sexually or something?
One would think that bouncing around on horseback would be much more ruinous to a lady's virtue, no? |
